What Causes Crohn’s Disease? (Humor)

As I listened to a podcast from my friend Stephen Dempster on the blog Behind the Times, he raised a good point that immediately got my tired brain working. He stated the following:

The question we should really be asking is not so much “Do you think we will ever find a cure for Crohn’s Disease?”, but rather, “Do you think we will ever find a cause?”

And it does raise a very important question, because how can we find a cure without knowing the cause (or causes…)? So I was immediately reminded of some of the theories I’ve heard over the past several years. Yes, none of these are to be taken very seriously, but it goes to show you that everyone seems to “know” the cause of Crohn’s Disease – it all depends on who you ask!

Lawyers say “Accutane causes Crohn’s”

Facebook seems to suggest that “MAP causes Crohn’s”

Certain new age websites write that “An imbalance of your Chi causes Crohn’s.”

Nicely done. Antibiotics cause Crohn’s; what I ate last night causes Crohn’s; Picking my nose as a kid and eating it causes Crohn’s; That one time at band camp…; That computer virus I had on Windows 95 causes computer Crohn’s I think.

The true cause of Crohn’s Disease? To get the word out, to spread intelligent discussion, and get people to understand! (See what I did there??)
